SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korea’s chief nuclear negotiator said on Friday that he welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion for a “new method” in engaging in negotiations aimed at dismantling Pyongyang’s weapons programs.
Kim Myong Gil praised Trump’s “wise political decision” to seek a new approach to the talks without a “troublemaker” in the U.S. administration, referring to the resignation of former national security advisor John Bolton.
